Do I need a separate CMS site planning subscription for each of my 5 website projects in Webflow?
TL;DR
- Each Webflow project requires its own CMS Site Plan for CMS functionality and publishing on a custom domain.
- Account Plans allow project management but do not include hosting or CMS features.
- Workspaces help with team collaboration but do not replace the need for individual Site Plans.
- Webflow does not offer a shared CMS plan across multiple projects.
If you need CMS features on each of your 5 Webflow projects, you must purchase a CMS Site Plan for each website individually. Webflow’s Site Plans are applied per project, not per account.
1. Understanding Webflow Site Plans
- Each individual Webflow project (website) requires its own Site Plan to be published on a custom domain.
- CMS Site Plans enable dynamic collections, which allow you to manage structured content like blogs, portfolios, or directories.
- If a project does not require CMS functionality, you can use a Basic Site Plan instead.
2. Account Plans vs. Site Plans
- Account Plans (such as Freelancer or Agency plans) let you create and manage multiple projects, but do not provide hosting or CMS features for live websites.
- You still need a Site Plan for each live project that requires CMS functionality.
3. Consider Webflow’s Workspaces
- If managing multiple client projects, Webflow’s Workspace Plans may be a cost-effective solution for team collaboration.
- However, Workspaces do not replace the need for separate Site Plans for each project.
Summary
Yes, you need a CMS Site Plan for each individual project that requires CMS functionality. Webflow does not offer a shared CMS plan across multiple websites.
